MSBI Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Midland States Bancorp has demonstrated a positive trajectory in its community banking segment, with a 2% increase in originations quarter-over-quarter in the first quarter of 2025, signaling strong demand for its lending services. The company's efforts to enhance credit quality, as evidenced by a decrease in net charge-offs, along with proactive technology investments, are expected to bolster its franchise value and increase market share among existing and prospective clients. Additionally, the expansion of the net interest margin by 23 basis points to 3.79% and an improved efficiency ratio forecast of 63%-65% indicate a favorable operational performance and a solid foundation for future growth.
Bears say
Midland States Bancorp is experiencing a significant decline in loan production, evidenced by a 3% sequential decrease in loans held for investment in the third quarter, which was worse than previous expectations. Additionally, the company's wealth management revenue fell by 4% quarter-over-quarter, marking a 9% year-over-year decrease in 1Q25, suggesting challenges in maintaining client engagement and fees. The decline in total deposits by 6%, particularly in brokered deposits, alongside the decreasing loan-to-deposit ratio projected to reach 74% by 4Q26, further underscores potential liquidity and growth concerns for the company.
